I’ve very much enjoyed this year of exploring hobbies and how homeschool moms make and find time to create beauty in their world – whether photography or music or quilting or hand lettering. It has been a joy for me to get to know a number of you and see the work you’re doing in…
I have followed Heather on Instagram for quite a while now. She always has something beautiful going on at her account, Tillberry Tales. This year I’ve had my eye out for hobbyists, and the hobby she posted that I’m most intrigued by is her hand lettering. Hand lettering has become very popular in recent years…
Sara Masarik has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years mostly through the agency of the Facebook book club she and friends started, Potato Peel Pie Society, and especially its offshoot, Symposium At Parnassus which is for book-loving homeschool mamas like me. You may know Sara already from her interview on…
I don’t know Kay as well as I know some of the other ladies I’ve featured here in the Learning, Knowing, Creating Hobbies for Homeschool Moms series, but when I saw her newest hobby, I knew I had to invite her. Kay is a homeschooling mom and a piano teacher. Music is obviously already a…
There’s this false dichotomy that pops up in the homeschool world, “You shouldn’t have a schedule, you should have a routine.” It sounds all well and good, a wonderful idea for folks who have an established routine or are not easily distracted. Not so for many of us. Not so for me. I need a…
I’m so happy to introduce you to Sarah Lashbrook today. I met Sarah on Instagram when a mutual friend asked us to join in curating an account for the encouragement of Charlotte Mason homeschool moms and their real, every day lives. That account @charlottemasonirl has been a lot of fun and the nine of us…
In Plan Your Year, Pam teaches strategies for carefully thinking through your beliefs about education, the needs of your children, then the means to pull those things together into an achievable, cohesive plan. Writing goals for my children was not something I’d ever done before in our homeschool. Likely this is because I’m not personally…
I’m so happy to introduce you to my friend Angi DeLong today. I met Angi on the soccer fields – or was it the lobby at homeschool choir? Either way, we’ve been friends for a number of years now chatting, sharing books, drinking wine, and generally encouraging one another. Angi is so artistically talented and…
I’m so happy to introduce you to Amber Vanderpol today. I don’t really remember how I met Amber. She and I had internet friends in common and we just sort of started to follow one another and chat from time to time; now we’re FitBit friends. Amber is very involved in the Charlotte Mason (CM)…
I’m so happy to introduce you to my friend Celeste Cruz today. I met Celeste online a number of years ago because of our connections with the CM world through AmblesideOnline. Our friendship has grown through blogging, Instagram, Facebook, Fitbit, and Voxer. Celeste has inspired me in innumerable ways from her dedication to running, reading &…
